RARE CHANCE FOR FERNHILL VISITORS can meander up the sealed driveway through the imposing electric gated entrance, lined by a stunning rock wall and natural rainforest, to the extensive car accommodation and shedding. Just a hint of the Tudor-styled residence that sits predominantly on the mountain side above can be seen. Loved by the one family for 60 years, this is a rare opportunity to purchase this exceptional hills property offering the most incredible architectural splendour adorned with timber embellishments and craftsmanship that will capture hearts and transport buyers to another world. The striking framework accentuates the formidable roofline and turret of this entertainer’s residence, providing a statement in design and a lasting impression, resonating with friends and family who have visited over the years. Internally, captivating oregon trusses and beams in the lounging room are prominent with an exceptionally fitted bar that forms the talking point of many a gathering. The classic kitchen is elevated and adorned in fiddle back redgum handcrafted timber cabinetry, fitted with quality appliances, perfect for the chef of the family. Solid arched doors connect an intriguing floor plan off a central sitting area to an amazing formal dining room with stunning bay window, while panelling guides the eye to the guest bedroom, then into the leadlight stairwell showcasing a solid blackwood staircase, wood-turned balustrade and newels.
This leads to the master suite, grand in proportions and unique in design. A central void frames a handmade timber lantern while diamond leadlight windows allow nature to be appreciated. A full ensuite, double vanity and spa plus robes aplenty complete the opulent decor and a retreat or possible third bedroom sits adjacent. Every room offers individual detailing and character. Situated on more than 3 acres of land, privacy is assured. Externally, buggy-width pathways pass a bluestone cellar, while a waterwheel encourages water to flow down the garden to ponds and a calming waterfall through the front garden…and also runs the spit! A Tudor barn provides a large work area and storage, with studio, teenager's retreat or fourth bedroom in the loft. The track continues to guide up past more than 600 camellias providing foliage for florists, and trees - 20 chestnut, 10 walnut, six macadamia nut, four hazelnut, three oak truffle, 18 fig and eight maya lemon, for income options. Bedrock is an entertainer’s oasis under a pergola of entangled kiwi fruit vines, the ultimate picnic area to escape and totally relax. Views across the chestnut grove to Kallista and Sherbrook are simply surreal. The timeless elegance and imposing Tudor influences prevail in every structure on this unique property, fondly named Fernhill. ●
